Car crashes into Chicago police car as officers respond to burglary in Lincoln Park
CHICAGO (CBS) -- A car crashed into a Chicago police cruiser early Friday morning in Lincoln Park while officers were responding to a liquor store burglary.
Police said, around 3:30 a.m., officers responded to a break-in at Lakeside Food Wine & Spirits on the corner of Halsted and Wrightwood.
Three people had removed the front door to get inside, but police showed up before they could get in.
As officers arrived, a gray Infiniti sedan crashed into the squad car, while officers were still inside. The Infiniti then drove off, as did a second car, possibly a Jeep.
One of the burglary suspects tried to run away, but police arrested them.
No one was injured in the crash.
Charges were pending Friday against the one person in custody.
